Easter
- A super simple sponge cake decorated with brightly coloured sprinkles. Thanks to the AGA demonstrator Naomi Hansell for the recipe.
- These Swedish Lenten buns, filled with marzipan custard and topped with whipped cream, make a gorgeous alternative to hot cross buns. The cardamom dough is brioche-like and a real pleasure to work with too. If you fancy, add a splash of rum or brandy to the cream – not traditional but very delicious!
- This traditional French dish gets its name from the fact that people used to take dishes of potatoes to the local boulangerie and cook them all day in the cooler part of the baker’s ovens. The long slow cook with the lamb shoulder on top gives you incredibly tender meat and means all the meat juices run into the potatoes, so they’re extra delicious. It’s perfect served with a simple bowl of steamed greens, and a dab of grainy mustard
- The king of brunches! This hollandaise method takes a little more time than most, but we promise you won’t make it any other way once you’ve tried it. We love the texture contrast of crispy bacon (especially when it’s cooked in the AGA), but you can make it with ham if you prefer. With thanks to Rebecca Woollard for the recipe.
- These cookies have a satisfying malty flavour from the rye flour and stay deliciously chewy in the middle with seriously crispy edges. If you don’t want to use mini eggs, you could substitute chopped white or milk chocolate instead.
- A lovely rich gratin balanced out by the slight bitterness of the endives. Serve it with roast chicken or pork, or on its own with a side salad and some crusty bread for mopping up the sauce. With thanks to Rebecca Woollard for this delicious recipe.
- If you're looking for a quick and easy Easter dessert, we've got you covered. This chocolate orange tiffin is the perfect rich and indulging treat for your family or to give as a lovely Easter gift. It's also brilliant for adding in any leftover chocolate or biscuits and will go well with an afternoon cup of tea.
- Enriched with delicious flavours, our slow roast lamb is the perfect informal summer entertaining dish. One of the best things about cooking slow roast shoulder of lamb, is that it can be prepared in advance and left to cook in the simmering oven using our Anodised Deep AGA Roasting Tin, whilst still enjoying family time. No constant checking and it does not matter if it cooks for an hour or so longer then stated.
- This roll of filo pastry is packed with colourful vegetables; spinach, butternut squash and red peppers which contrast with crumbled white feta cheese. Serve either warm or cold cut into slices. Many thanks to AGA Specialist Dawn Roads for this lovely recipe.
- A classic centrepiece to enjoy over the long Easter weekend. This simple recipe infuses the lamb with a lemon mint purée and is served with sweet, caramelised roasted fennel. The cooking juices combined with the bed of onions make a delicious sauce. Many thanks to AGA Specialist Dawn Roads for this lovely recipe.
- This delectable chocolate cookie, baked in the AGA Cast Aluminium Sauté Pan on the simmering plate, results in a gooey texture that is simply irresistible. Served warm with a scoop of ice cream, the dessert is truly an indulgent treat. And if there happens to be any leftovers, the cookie can be enjoyed cold as well. Many thanks to AGA Specialist Dawn Roads for this fabulous recipe.
- A delicious take on bread and butter pudding made with hot cross buns and custard. The best hot cross buns to use are those which are lightly spiced, as these give a good flavour to the cooked pudding. Many thanks to AGA Specialist Dawn Roads for this lovely recipe.
- This delicious alternative to roast chicken has flavours reminiscent of North Africa. The recipe is gently spiced, however use more harissa for a pronounced spicy taste. Serve with hot with Hasselback potatoes and roasted vegetables or cold as part of a sharing platter with giant couscous, griddled aubergines with yogurt, salad and dips. Many thanks to AGA Specialist Dawn Roads for this recipe.
